Mary Patricia Killoran, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mary Patricia!

I have experience dealing with individuals with substance abuse and the families experiencing the effects. I believe we all have the potential to lead lives with joy, with strong relationships and connections.

My focus

I work with clients and families dealing with substance abuse. I work with adults, couples, and families. I work with depression, life transitions, grief, and aging concerns. I provide coaching for optimal potential.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my sessions. I believe we all have the potential to lead lives with joy, with strong relationships and connections. I have experience as an Imago Relationship Therapist.

My communication style

I provide a supportive environment to help adults and couples face issues of personal, psychological, and spiritual growth as well as find practical ways to improve their lives. You will find me knowledgeable, caring and warm. I have a sense of humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe we all have the potential to feel joy in our lives. Sometimes we need to learn new tools and discover important things about ourselves that help us to live our lives to the fullest.

My goals for you

I ask clients to set a goal for our therapy. I ask clients to do some homework between sessions in order to optimize the work we do.

Our first session

I will ask you why you are coming to therapy and what your goals are for the time we spend together. I will ask you about your support systems, relationships, and what coping mechanisms have worked for you.
